A recent closed thread had me thinking. I do carry concealed regularly and I do think about "less than lethal" or "Less Lethal" options.
I do not think I should require anyone to do so or question their morals if they do not.
I have in the past carried one form of flashlight or another primarily as a light source but also with thought such might be used as a "Ju-Jitsu Stick" as they were called in the 1960s or a Kubo-tan or Kubotan or Yarwar stick or whatever.
Most of them were either AA Mini-Mag-Lites or knock offs (I currently on occasion carry a 20 year old knock off "Nordic" with a side switch or a MML with an after market tail switch) But have carried a Stlyelite "pen" or even way back a Double A pen light.
Around 1990 or so I took Ma Ayoob's LFI-1 class and he was excited to see I carried a Mini Mag-Lite in a belt pouch and gave a rather painful demonstration to the class on how it could be used as a less than lethal weapon using a pressure point directed hold on his victim's wrist to demand compliance.
Anyone have much formal training and experience with such?
Anyone suggest an On-Line source of information about such? (Beats no training, sometimes)
Least I be accused of being young and dumb and full of.....bluster, notice my reference to the 1960's and the fact that I think one of the biggest losses to the Law Enforcement Community was the fall from favor among politicians that control stuff of the three and four cell D and C cell mag-lites.
